Turkeys in a Nutshell.

We do not mean that the turkeys NAV
be kept in nutshell. An egg shell is the
only shell small enough to hold a turkey
But the Poultry Keeper for May, after Civ
ing over five columns of original and Sc
lected turkey literature, condenses the
matter into the following rules TO be OBJ
served by those who would he successful in
raising them. In order to enable our
readers 20 more fully understand what may
be required, tine following cardinal points
should be kept in view. They are;
l. Never let the young turkeys get wet.
The slightest dampness Is fatal.
2. Feed nothing the first twenty-four
hours after they are Matched.
3. Before putting them in the coop see
that 1t Is perfectly clean and free from lice,
and dust them three times week with
Persian insect powder.
4. Be sure the hen is free from lice. Dust
her, too.
5. Look out for mites and large lice on
the heads, necks and vents. Grease heads.
neeks and vents with lard, but avoid kero-
sene.
6. Nine-tenths of the young turkeys die
from lice Remember that.
Z. Filth will soon make short work of
them. Feed on clean surfaces. Give
water in manner so they can only wet their
beaks
s. The first week feed mixture of one
egg, beaten, and wheat middlings one part.
ground meat one part, corn meal one part.
mixed, with salt to taste, and cooked as
bread, then crumbled for them, with milk
or curds, so they can drink all they want

Misery After Eatfnp

Is avoided by dyspeptics who, guided by
the recorded experience of thousands, be-
gin and Systematically pursue course OF
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Persistence
in the use of this pure and highly accred-
tied stomacbic is the sole and agreeable
condition of the entire removal of the OBJ
stinate forms of dyspepsia, no less than a
temporary fit of indigestion. In connec-
ton with the use of this specific, il is de-
sirable to avoid articles of food which in
dividual experience has shown to b. diff
cult of digestion by the stomach sought to
be benefited. Each dyspeptics past obser-
walton of his digestive capacity should en-
able him to be his own guide and mentor
in this particular, not trusting to any set
OF dietetic rules TOO general to be suited to
particular cases. Biliousness and consti-
patton, heartburn, wind upon the stomach,
sour quotations, headache and mental
dependency are among the concomitants
of dyspepsia, and we put it to flight by the
Bitters.

Carrier pigeons in War.

Steps have been taken in nearly all
European countries TO establish military
communication by means of carrier pig
cons in time of war England, France,
Germany, Belgium and Italy have def
nitely organized military carrier-pigeon
services, and some have subsidized the
private training establishments with the
right to use the pigeons in war.
This method of communication origi-
mated in China, or, al least, in the East,
and it was most likely in use by the ancient
Arabians. William of Orange and Ma
poleon l. used these messengers during
their wars; but the greatest service was
that rendered in 1870 between Paris and
Tours.
During the siege of Paris 10000 official
dispatches and about one million private
communications, representing a money
value Of about S3S, 900, were conveyed by
these pigeons. In this case messages were
reduced by microscopic photography so
that a tiny piece of silk paper one and
three-fourths inches long by one and one
fourth inches wide would contain $500
